Feasibility of using a low-cost sensor network to capture rain-on-snow events and episodic event-based material transport in the La Platte River Watershed

Institute: Vermont
Year Established: 2024 Start Date: 2024-09-01 End Date: 2025-08-31
Total Federal Funds: $37,000 Total Non-Federal Funds: $37,000

Principal Investigators: Clay Williams

Project Summary: This proposed research project will establish a low-cost sensor network throughout the La Platte River to gain a better understanding of how climate change (episodic events and rain-on-snow) and land use impact land-water material fluxes (e.g., suspended solids and dissolved substances).
